All teas come from the same plant, but these types differ according to the stage of picking the leaves of this plant. There are many different types of tea such as black tea, white tea, green tea, yellow tea, oolong tea, pure tea, flavored tea, and herbal tea, but the most widespread and consumed are black and green tea, and this difference is mainly due to the method of processing tea leaves after picking.

It is called black tea, but in China it is known as "red tea" due to the color it gives to boiling water when added to it. It is stronger in taste than other less oxidized teas; black tea is the most produced and consumed in the world, unlike other teas, and is also the type used as a base for flavored tea.

Black tea is obtained through some stages, the first of which is picking the leaves of the plant and then subjecting them to the drying, winding and fermentation process, and these leaves are oxidized by exposing them to air for a long period of time, which results in the decomposition of enzymes and the leaves obtain their brownish-black color, and their distinctive smell.

Health Benefits of Black Tea:

Protect the cells of the body from damage.

Green tea is one of the most popular types of tea, and it is made from the same plant mentioned earlier, but it does not undergo the oxidation process, and it is worth noting that green tea contains less caffeine balanced by black tea.

The green tea leaves are harvested and then immediately heated and dried to prevent oxidation that will turn the green leaves brown and change their fresh flavors. Limiting green tea processing to these few processes is an explanation for why it retains a higher concentration of chlorophyll, polyphenols and antioxidants offset to other teas, so it clearly helps in metabolism.

It is one of the most common and widespread drinks in the East, especially in China and Japan, because it contains many health benefits for the body.

It is called white tea because it is made from very small tea plant buds, which are covered with a layer of soft silver-white cilia and is made by picking the leaves of the tea plant in the early stages and - specifically - in the spring, and it is the least treated type of tea as after harvest the leaves are dried immediately in natural sunlight. White tea has a mild taste and a touch of fruit or floral flavor, and also contains lower levels of caffeine balanced to other teas.
